Could You Use A Good Hug?
25 July 2011, 5:25 pm

      So like, you're having one of those days, and like you need a good hug and you just can't find anyone to give you that hug?  Well, Japanese researchers have come up with a Robotic Torso that allows you to hug yourself!  The torso has sensors and little pager motors and air bladders.  As you hug and stroke the torso, it sort of feels like it is hugging and stroking you back.  Ultimate partner?  Probably not.  Creepy, weird, disturbing?  Yeah, you could probably use a good hug now?
